Author's Note: Hi, uh, I made this AU for fun back in 2019. This takes place in an AU where it focuses on Werewolf!Shelbourne from the CwaCoM show because, well, why not? Also, Season 2 takes place two years after Season 1 instead of just one year hence why the timeline is a bit strange.
And yes, I am the same person from AO3 who wrote this, I reuploaded this from there just for fun.
It was a normal night in Swallow Falls. Everyone was tucked into bed and resting for the night. Well.. almost everyone that is. For you see, the mayor has gotten into his first run-in with the townsfolk that day, and he was not happy.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE CALLED WEAK?!" The mayor's voice was heard in his mansion. He vented to his son, thrashing his arms around and stomping about. His son, Gil, has been trying to calm him down, but the mayor didn't seem to back down. "TO BE CALLED A-ANNOYING?!" He yelled once more at his son, he angrily walked near a window, with his back turned towards it. "Why y-yes.. I do know, but-" His son spoke, he was shaking due to how mad his father has gotten. Usually, Gil suffers terrible treatment from his father, but he has never seen him this mad before. "BUT? BUT NO.. THEY JUST HAD TO TREAT ME LIKE THAT!" The mayor cut his son off. He turned around to the window and grabbed the bottom of it. He stared at the window's contents. The wooden outlines, the dusty glass, and the folded curtains. After inspecting the window and steadying his breathing, he looked outside and saw the island, the bright moon, and the flowing clouds. The sight of his island calmed the mayor, but something didn't feel right.. He was almost entranced by the moon, he didn't know why, but he just was..
"GRAAUGH-" With a striking pain in his heart, he screamed and fell to the floor. He held his body up with one arm, and his other arm was holding onto the searing pain in his chest. "Dad?! Are you okay?" Gil ran up to his dad. "Uugh.. it hurts.." The mayor strained out, he clutched his chest tighter. "I-I mean.. I can see why.." His son was oblivious to what was happening, thinking it was his father's emotional pains. "N-no.. everything huuurts.." The mayor said, this time he was slowly getting a bad headache. "I mean.. you could just.. not think about today's eve-" Gil said, only to be cut off by his dad. "NO GIL, MY BODY IS IN PAIN!" The mayor screamed at him, his voice sounded hoarse.
The mayor breathed heavily, he felt his heartbeat intensify. Then, he got a wave of pain that he never felt before. "AAAAAAAAHH!" He let out a horrifying scream, he started to sweat as if it was hot outside. "What's going on?!" His son jumped back, he worried for him. "I DON'T KNOOOWW?!" The mayor strained out, his voice still sounding hoarse. He clutched his head and curled into himself, his sweat dripped from his face and he squinted his eyes. Gil walked up to him and touched his back to attempt to comfort him. Dazed, the mayor shoved his son, sending him flying back a few feet toward a wall. He then let out another scream, but something about his scream didn't feel normal. It sounded like an agonizing roar, also accompanied by his newly grown fangs..
It began. His hands twitched and shook, and his nails slowly grew sharper and longer, as well as getting darker in color. The mayor's eyes darted wildly at his hands, watching it happen in an instant. His skin felt itchy, he pulled down his sleeve to notice his hair growing at a fast rate. "WHAT?!" He exclaimed in fear before groaning and falling on his fours. As he transformed, his son managed to get himself up from the shove, only to be greeted by his dad on the floor with new features. The mayor looked around to see his son on the floor, recovering from the shove. His sideburns were starting to grow around his ears and head, while his ears started to grow and get pointed. Upon looking at his son, he turned his body around to face him.
"H-heeellp.." He weakly let out, his teeth were now a set of extremely sharp teeth. Tears were streaming down his face. The pain was unbearable to him. His son was mortified, he backed away onto the wall and watched in horror. The mayor fell back onto the floor, as he was hit with another wave of pain. His back arched painfully, ripping his suit and revealing his back that was covered in fur. A small tail, no longer than his hand, sprouted from his back. The mayor gripped the back of his suit and pulled on it hard, tearing it to shreds and leaving him shirtless. His exposed arms and entire torso were covered in blond fur. He let out a roar, his voice was now fairly deep. The tip of his nose was starting to get darker. "AARROOOOOUH-" The mayor howled in pain, he planted his hands onto the floor which now had huge black claws. The fur around his face finally grew into a mane. His nose was now completely black and had visible nostrils. His ears were much larger and pointed, now able to swivel and move. His shoes strained and tore from the size of his claws that he was growing. His pants couldn't handle the amount of fur that came in. It tore to reveal more fur that spread throughout his legs.
It was finally done. The mayor stood on his toes and steadied his balance. The mayor howled again, his tears still streaming down his face. Gil got up, his legs were weak and shaking. He couldn't believe what happened to his father. He wasn't a human anymore, he was now a creature.. a werewolf. The now werewolf mayor turned to see his son, who had his mouth cupped by his own hands. Gil noticed his dad's pupils were now slits, they were very thin and stared right at him. Shelbourne let out a loud roar which startled his son greatly. He snarled and huffed after letting out his roar. His eyes seemed to have trouble staying open, his eyelids were slowly closing on him. He then groaned and tumbled to the floor, fainting from exhaustion.
His body lay limp on the floor, he was drooling and slowly breathing. Gil walked up to see his dad's new form. He was mortified, yet amazed. His phone buzzed in his pocket as he received an alarm to go to bed."I can't sleep.. not with my dad like this.." He said to himself. He made a plan now that he had his phone in his hand. He took pictures of his dad laying on the floor, he tried his best to take the pictures well. He then quickly grabbed a blanket from his room. He draped the blanket over his dad, making sure he was well covered. His dad made a quick snarl before snoring again, startling Gil. Gil stepped back and gulped.
"How did this happen?"
